Simulation: a Teaching Strategy in Nursing Education for Safe Practice
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Nursing education has been constantly striving to keep in pace with the exponential growth in health care and greater emphasize on patient safety. Shortage of clinical placements, increased acuity of illness of patients and awareness of consumer rights have led nurse educators chose simulation lab as an alternative to clinical setting., The emergence and expansion of technology has given rise to the development of human simulators that foster features for depicting scenarios of various levels of intensity. Simulation enhances student learning in a stress free environment with reduced risks for safety actual patients. This paper presents a brief literature review related to simulation in nursing education, Types of simulators and its application, implementation of simulation scenario and role of simulation in enhancing student learning.
